The CRD Perinatal Counselling Program is a unique, local initiative with a 35-year legacy of delivering mental health care to parents in our community.
Although the program is presently winding down, program partners are stepping up their efforts to find a way to restore access to perinatal counselling for expectant and postpartum parents.
Your interest and support for this work is appreciated. And if there is something you are doing or thinking that can help move the needed, please tell us about it.
We also welcome chats to explore longer term partnerships to join forces in the work to esnure all parents can access perintal mental health care when its needed.
